And there's also the Hornady 45 grain soft point......

Here are a couple of groups I shot this past Sat with my Ruger 77 Target. It's the first time I've worked with the 45gr bullets, and was pleased with the results. Next I'll load some up to run through my Rem LVSF. The writing didn't come through well: 26.7gr of Varget, R-P brass, Rem 7 1/2 BR primer...

Thanks for the great report, and esp. the photo....much appreciated. What caliber? Load? We're always hungry for all the details here!

Very, very interesting and helpful!!!! Thanks.....

Sold..........

Let's do both......

There's a downside to every season, depending on location. Needless to say, summer time is HOT and HUMID down here in bayou country!

Excellent condition Caldwell BR Competition rifle rest with 3" front bag. I'm selling this since I have the opportunity to acquire a Sinclair at a very favorable price. Midway currently retails this for $170 plus shipping. I'll sell this one for $115 plus $10 UPS to you. George Walker. email me...

I've got a Caldwell BR Competition I'm going to sell as well....PM me.

Rather than thinking about trading it up for a 22-250, do what I did: had my Rem 700 Classic in .221 rebarrelled with a Shilen 24" barrel to .20 Vartarg.....even better than the .221, esp. with 35 Bergers and 39 Blitzkings......

It's an LVSF....I've got one in .204 and it's a great shooter. Check out Hodgdon's site for reload data: http://data.hodgdon.com/main_menu.asp. I don't think the .221 brass is available new anyplace currently.....a couple of months ago Remington told me that it was "in stock" and would be ...

10+ years ago, when I became seriously involved with handloading, I found this video by David Tubb to be very helpful.

Melvin: thanks.....great report and terrific photos. What rifle were you using? George

I have the rifle in .223 and love it....very accurate and a delight to handle. I did add a Timney trigger, bed the action and float the barrel. I'm sure you're going to do well with your new gun.
